Ladies and Gentleman,

For those man, who are married with a Thai lady and make visits to the Savannakhet Thai Consulate be aware that:

The name of your missus is the same on:

Copy ID card front and back

Copy Tabian Baan, blue house book

Copy Marriage Certificate.

If you missus decided somewhere in time to change her maiden name and use your name, you need to show the Thai Consulate that the name change is done officially.

OR

With a copy of the last page of the blue Tabian Baan, where the name change is registered,

OR

The certificate that shows an official family name change

Savannakhet is checking the names since early Jan 2020, Immigration in Thailand did this much longer.

Thanks all

Note ... In our case, in Chiang Mai, change from Miss to Misses and change from maiden surname to husband's surname were two different sets of documents.
